Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe insists he hasn't lost confidence in Dan Burn.

Burn was hooked soon after giving away a penalty in yesterday's 4-4 draw with Luton.

Howe said: "Dan has been absolutely outstanding since he arrived at the football club. He played a huge part in our brilliant season last year and our excellent defensive record.

"Four days ago, I thought he was magnificent against Aston Villa. He was a big part of why we played so well."

On Tino Livramento potentially replacing Burn, the manager added: "Tino is an outstanding player, and no doubt will have a huge bearing on our future. But as I said earlier, there's more than one aspect of the game to think about when I pick the team."
